Hi Bruce Thanks for the information, I think I have enough to read for the next few weeks now! Dave

Posted by Bruce Austin on 04/04/2015 21:36:40: I recommend the simple, but clever, battery under the wing solution, using the velcro and plastic ruler method. I checked through the thread but could not find a reference to this, now I am intrigued! Do you mean you velcro the LiPo to the underside of the wing/in the fuselage, then use a ruler to separate the velcro? I'd be interested to see a pic if its not too much trouble. Cheers

Thanks for the advice Bruce & John, much appreciated! Dave

Can anyone advise me if this is normal or am I doing something basically stupid? Hi, I have just found this great thread having just bought a Phoenix! I had quite a few issues during the build but mainly small ones. I had to modify the fuselage as the rudder servo was jamming, there was no advice as to how to install the receiver, and the ESC was just floating on the deck. Still good value for money though, I thought. However, I have the recommended 1800 LiPo and to get the suggested CoG means the battery being halfway under the wing, so only half of it is on the supplied battery tray. Can anyone advise me if this is normal or am I doing something basically stupid? Cheers Dave
